Hytale servers can directly import 3D objects or images into their games. The robust importing tool will convert the files into blocks, allowing users to customize the blocks used for objects and their sizes. Utilizing this feature, along with the numerous console commands available, will enable players to create exciting landscapes with impossible structures, impressive statues, and custom images.
Requirement: Importing objects/images requires players to be in Creative Mode.
